their breakfast is so nice!
but it's surprisingly no body wash provided. & no uber driver is willing to come pick up clients. a staff in the hotel introduced a driver to us & USD 85 we paid ( we went out for dinner @walk distance + sent us to another hotel/tour gathering spot + pick us back to hotel linda vista we waited for around 45mins)

Rooms are clean and you get cleaning service everyday. Views are unbeatable.

Breakfast was also good and enough to start the day. It’s not a big portion.

Staff are very helpful with booking activities. Pool was small but clean and well maintained.

It’s a rainforest, please be prepared to be woken up with sounds of birds, monkeys. We enjoyed it as we are morning people.

Location was ~35 min drive to town so be prepared for it. We loved the isolation and quietness.

EL hotel esta lindo, se ve muy lindo, la atencion excelente. EL hotel esta muy retirado a 35 minutos del centro del Pueblo de la fortuna y ademas para llegar el camino es un poco angosto ademas que tiene muchas subidad inclinadas. la vistas desde el hotel es espectacular. tiene una picina con agua fira y un jacuzzy muy caliente. Lo recomiendo para los que quiera ir algo tranquilo y no salir de noche.

I found the staff to be very rigid with any additional requests. I was expecting a traditional bacon and eggs, but it was more like bologna bacon / guess it’s cheaper to feed guests. The butter was spoiled and expired the same month. It was orange and had a weird taste, and the staff would not help in supplying butter even an additional cost. The restaurant seems to be highly priced, especially for Canadians.

We picked this hotel by the ratings on Expedia which most rated it a 10.
The hotel itself its views of the volcano the scenery was beauitful. It doesn’t get much better. The breakfast was very good also. Pool was real nice.
The cons were it’s not close to the town it’s at least 30 minutes. Not much in between really nothing. To me the biggest downfall was the room. Beds were real hard. No mirror except bathroom sink. Shower had tons of sewer flys coming from drain. Which was gross. No mini fridge to put water in. Had to buy water at restraunt they have $7 US rip off & nowhere to keep it cold. Only towels u get are the ones on ur bed they make into aminals. Maids didn’t give us clean cups refill tea bags & we were there 4 days.plus they were trying to get in room at 8 in morning.” I’m not real picky either but I didn’t like there rooms at all but views of the lake the volcano were beauitful!

Its about 20 minutes drive from the city area which we liked, so you can get away from the hustle and bustle. There's also plenty of restaurants and little supermarkets nearby as well.

My favorite part was coming back to our room to find a new animal crafted with towels everyday, we were there for 8 days, I thought they'd run out of ways to fold the towels but they didn't. I highly recommend this place. Thank you to everyone working at Hotel Linda Vista for making my stay so pleasant.

Room and property are beautiful. They offer breakfast but wasn't able to try it due to our scheduling didn't coordinate with their 7am start time. That is one thing I would change is maybe have breakfast start at 6 for people going on tours so they can eat first. They did provide one day a to go box the night before with sandwich and fruit which was nice. The pool and hot tub were relaxing and they have a .25 mile hike thru woods on their property that is awesome. The view of volcano was exceptional.

The hot tub did not work initially but after informing them, they fixed it fast. The breakfast left more to be desired. It was kind of skimpy unless you got the rice and beans. They didn't give us a menu for the first two mornings even though we asked for one. Then we randomly got menus the next two mornings.. weird. The beds were a little hard but not terrible. They do not give you clean sheets or bath towels if they come clean your room. My son split a little chocolate on his sheets and they just turned the fitted sheet 180 degrees. Beautiful view and nice people. The AC worked but didn't get all the humidity of the room because the window in the bathroom only had a screen on it. Was beautiful but happy to move on to our next place.

We stayed for 3 nights. Initially, we were given a room in a stand-alone, 2-unit complex that had an unobstructed view of the volcano, but the room was not one of the recently renovated rooms in the property. We switched to one of the remodeled rooms on the second night in the main building as there were some ants getting into the original room, probably due to rain. The renovated room had modern amenities but the volcano was mostly blocked from view.

The vista from the property ground was amazing. Besides the volcano, you could see the lake as well. Having meals in the open-air restaurant while enjoying the lake view was a joy. The swimming pool area was another attraction of the property. It was especially crowded during sunset as many enjoyed dipping in the pool orbl jaccuzzi

All the staff were super friendly and helpful. Our request for room change due to the ants issue was swiftly responded to by the reception staff. The restaurant staff also prepared our to-go breakfast early so that we could pick up our food before the restaurant opened. We felt we were taken good care of during our stay.

We took Uber for most of our trips to town and nearby attractions. We initially thought finding rides could be challenging as the property was a bit far from town and the route was windy. It turned out we didn't have issues finding rides from and to the hotel.

Our experience at Hotel Lina Vista was disappointing due to inconsistent communication from staff and the way we were treated during our stay. We originally booked a room for three people because we didn’t know my sister and niece would be joining the trip. When we later found out they were coming, we contacted the hotel to see if they had additional availability, but we were told they were fully booked, so they stayed at another hotel nearby. At check-in, we explained the situation and asked if they could briefly visit since we were traveling together as a family. The staff member told us it was fine and that they did not need wristbands. I even offered to pay for wristbands if needed, but was told it wasn’t possible because the room was limited to 3 guests. The next morning, while we were having breakfast, another staff member began questioning my sister about not having a wristband. Later, when she briefly went to the room to retrieve a portable battery pack I had forgotten, she was confronted again. When we returned later that day, a staff member came to our car, checked the license plate, and then questioned my mom about why my niece did not have a wristband. At that point we were suddenly told we could pay about $30 for wristbands. The constant questioning and monitoring made us feel uncomfortable & unwelcome. We understand hotels must enforce policies, but the mixed messages and the way the situation was handled made what should have been a relaxing stay feel stressful

The room was cleaned daily and the views were truly spectacular!! The door system needs to be changed. If one person wanted to leave the room the other person only has the choice of locking themselves in or leaving the patio door unlocked if they wanted to leave. The hot tub needs to be much hotter- it’s not much warmer than the pool and considering how cool and rainy it gets that would’ve added a huge bonus to the stay.
